It would be an 9 before the end

From the beginning to almost the end it's a great movie! I really enjoyed it, had some good laughs. Well, I relate a lot to Bozo, I was a fan as child, although I've never called him.

But, the end of the movie is so anti climatic. The end is awful. When I realized it ended in that way I was really disappointed. I don't know what the producers/directors/writers wanted with this ending. "Drugs are bad"? "Jesus is good"? I don't know. It's just awful.

Good movie. Awful ending.
